St. James’ Park Is Now Jumping Again – Fair Play To Newcastle

Paul Bracewell was born in Heswall in Wirral, which in the county of Merseyside.

Paul Bracewell – while at Newcastle
And Paul, who was a midfielder, played for Newcastle from 1992 through 1995, and he now runs Complete Soccer in Gosforth.

Liemka lot of former players he has decided to settle in Newcastle, after playing for seven different clubs, during his 20 year football career from 1979 though 1999.

And Paul has commented on Newcastle’s progress of last season, with some words during the launch of the Martin Gray Football Academy’s partnership with Southmoor Academy in Sunderland.

Paul played when Kevin Keegan was managing the club, and the now 49-year-old sees some distinct similarities between Alan Pardew’s current side, and Kevin’s famous Entertainers of the 1990s, which brought Newcastle great publicity around the world.

Paul seems confident things will only get better at Newcastle:

“Newcastle had a fantastic season.” “At the start of the season a lot of key-players left and a lot of people were thinking ‘How are they going to do?”

“Well fair play to them, they did fantastically well.” “European football is great for the town, there’ll be a real buzz about the place.” “But again, expectations will be high as the bar is raised again for next season.”

“That’s part and parcel, I think they’ve got some good foundations in place, and I would imagine they’ll go from strength to strength.” “They’ve got some good players and no doubt Alan will be looking to strengthen in every department.”

“You’ve got to if you want to compete at that level in Europe.” “It’s all about players, whether you get the right ones and as long as you do, it doesn’t matter whether it costs you £100K, £9M or £29M.”

“It’s all about getting good players in, and having a good team spirit.” “They look like they have that.” “It reminds me a lot now of when I was there playing under Kevin Keegan.” “They’ve got everyone working, there’s a good team spirit that you can sense.”

“When you go to the ground now, the place is jumping, and rightly so.” “They’ve had a great season – now they have to try and build on it.”

We somehow think that Paul didn’t check things out with Alan Pardew before he spoke those words, as Alan is busy trying to lower the expectations of the Geordie fans for next season.

And Fabricio Coloccini, the Newcastle captain, did his part in the local press this morning, when he said the fans and the team had to stick together during next season – whatever happens.

Over the years I havenproudly supported England. I have felt every blow, every missed opportunity and every sadness. Each time I have found myself hoping that next time will be the time. I like to kit myself out in the latest international shirt and have spent hundreds of pounds over the years. Recently though I just don’t have the passion. Nufc has always been my first love but England was my summer love, where I felt national pride but it’s all gone.

I was in JJB yesterday. 12 months after I nearly purchased the home and away tops for a combined price of over £100 I stared at the away shirt in all its patriotic glory. Deep blue and emblazoned with the 3 lions. ‘where?’ I thought, ‘where has my English passion gone?’. I reached for the price tag and to my shock I saw it was retailing for £12.50. Just over a tenner. How cheap is that. With an extra bit of my wage left over I pondered purchasing it for a moment and then I relegated. I am not proud of our football team and they don’t represent who I am, and what I believe in. I believe in the armed forces, the emergency services and the true grit of The fine country. Not these over rated, over paid and under whelming footballers. Why should I support England when most of the people wearing the shirt are so undeserving. Poor form, terrible attributes and disgusting escapades on and off the pitch has left me feeling anger and outrage to the England team. I am still patriotic for my country but I shall not, no I will not, support this team.

I didn’t purchase the £12.50 shirt and instead eyed up a French one instead.

Drenthe was thrown out of Everton because he constantly turned up late to training and wouldn’t listen last straw came when he showed up drunk and for the rest of his loan there he was kept away from the first team from what I last read on him

Does anyone thin we should sell Tiote for £25m and then sign M’Villa for £17m. Use the £8m to sign Marvin Martin and then focus on securing a top class goalscoring defender and Aly Cissokho. We should also keep hold of Ba and try to sign either Giroud or Luuk De Jong. We’d definitely have a top 4 side then.

I’d really like to see some movement in the market from us soon, but not for the sake of it, just don’t like prolonged spells of silence from the club and I know we’re collectively a lot better than in the past, but we’re still an impatient bunch and you can see that manifesting itself on the blog 😐

I think M’Villa is a better talent in comparison with Tiote. If we can sell Tiote to an English club for £25m and replace him with M’Villa, we’ll be laughing. Sign Diame as well as he’s free. Due to the current crop of French players, I believe we have the edge over other teams in terms of signing players like Giroud, Cissokho and Marvin Martin. It’s a sensible statement that I’ve made. We only need a little tweak. Hope we steal Vertonghen away from Spurs, just like we stole Marveaux away from Liverpool.

NEWCASTLE United have opened transfer
talks with West Brom midfielder Youssouf
Mulumbu, according to the player.
The DR Congo star is looking to leave the
Baggies this summer after an impressive
season at the Hawthorns.
And he claims his agent has begun
negotiations with both Newcastle and
Tottenham ahead of possible moves.

D’ya remember how he used to freeze time, go to the shop, drop the money in the till for the item he had and then casually walk out.

Little idiot he should have robbed the lot. I’d have gone to pc world and gone mad.

But the last laugh was on him, mr goody two shoes. Because what he didn’t account for was the lack of a barcode scan when taking the product meaning the till would have been up at the end of the day and stock wouldve been down without reliable means to take sales. That would mean that Tina on the till wouldve been accused of not doing her job correctly and not scanning products properly and she wouldve been fired. She was a single mother Bernard and you got her the sack.

Wonder what’s he’s up to now. He’ll be about 30. Bet he’s turned into a right perv when puberty hit. He’s probably on the offenders list now.

Lets hope cwarr is ryt for once Miguel Pérez Cuesta is a beast, scored 15 goals from midfield this season, with 3 assists, he is 26 though, but he would be a fantastic addition to the squad. He is also tall, and strong. Could be our yaya toure lets hope cwarr is ryt, even a broken clock is ryt twice a day 😉

Sorry to say lads but our ground hasn’t ‘JUMPED’ for years and anyone who thinks otherwise is living in cloud cuckoo land! Sas sign of the times but atmosphere not just at our ground but all prem grounds is pathetic compared to what it use to be!!!……….FACT! 25,000 home gates on a cold Wednesday night against Coventry City at home, standing in the open Gallowgate made 10 times the noise 52,000 does today! Modern football has given us great stadiums but we have LOST our famous atmosphere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Such a shame!!!

Realistically, if we keep a hold of the players have, we are only 3 players short of being a very, very solid squad; a full back, centre back and centre forward/wide man. If players leave, they need replacing.

In honor of two dedicated Newcastle fans, who lost their lives supporting Newcastle United.

Their passenger jet was shot down over Ukraine on Thursday July 17th, 2014 by rebels, as they were traveling to support the team in New Zealand.

We will never forget them.

Health Update - 4 Aug, 2016

The good news last week was that after more blood tests my PSA count is still undetectable

This means the prostate cancer is still under control, and there is no trace of it in the body.

Now to be even more vigilant so I can see the Rafa Benitez project come to its fruition over the next few years - wouldn't want to miss that.

Howay The Lads!!>

What Is A Football Club?

What is a club in any case?

Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it.

It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
